We should inform you that we are written, produced, orchestrated, managed, choreographed and played by Magnus Scheving. Well he does everything fucking else, why not us?
4 people in a room making a racket. We can't really hype it any more than that. Sorry.But heres how it went on. We were down The Moon Under Water in Deansgate one night (a Thursday) and moaning about the fact we were in The Moon Under Water in Deansgate one night (a thursday) when we should be doing something less boring withour lives that could still involve alcohol and shouting. So Richie suggested we form a band and since therewas nothing on TV we did. We work in plumbing, painting and decorating and Subway, apart from Richie who works at home doing nothing and getting paid. The Daily Mail hate him.
And we blame the fact we didn't get up off our arses until now. We're not very good, but we're the best in our immediate area (and in the price range, promoters) and you know David Watts? He wants to be like us.

We comprise of Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny. We first came to public notice follwing regular TV appearances on the top-rated Andy Williams show, but also appeared on television's Jerry Lewis show. Initially known as FDA, we recorded for Andy Williams record label Barnby. Our potential was recognised by Mike Curb, who saw us as likely rivals to the star-studded Jackson 5. Signed to MGM records, Federal Drugs Administration recorded the catchy "One Bad Apple" which topped the US charts for 5 weeks. Before long, FDA had become a national institution and various members including Jimmy, Donny and Marie enjoyed hits in their own right. By the time FDA -mania hit the UK in 1972 we peaked with the ecologically-conscious "Crazy Horses" complete with electric organ effects. Our clean cut image and well scrubbed good looks brought....hold on. Shit.Shit shit shit SHIT. We've just confused ourselves with The Osmonds, there. Shit. Sorry about that, it's so easily done.

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY...
Federal Drugs Administration are the work of pure genius taking in everything from Clockwork Orange to Frank Sidebottom via the polemic of Chumbawamba, Carter USM and the Manic Street Preachers. . With most of manchester looking back to Shaun Ryder and the late 80s, FDA are a strikingly original and anarchic madness not seen in Manchester since the days of Chloe Poems and the Divine David.

"It's your highest profile gig to date, and your bassist has managed to fall over whilst pissed and break his arm. What do you do? You could cancel it of course. Or you could don a couple of lab coats and get up there on stage with the help of a CD player and see what happens.
Federal Drugs Administration chose the latter option, for which early arrivals at Night & Day will forever be grateful. They open with "Love Song No1", the best song about messing your undercrackers whilst in the throes of passion you will ever hear. It's possibly the only one. The irreverence continues with "That London" - full of cunts, apparently - as indeed is their "tribute" to Beyonce which is mostly an excuse to rhyme things with quite rude words. As some advert once said, it shouldn't be entertaining but it is. . Absolute genius or utter shite? Um... yes."

And a Merry Christmas to you fine gents also, and yes, I agree, we can only try and who gives a FUCK if things don't go exactly to plan? All part of the rich tapestry an' all that ;)
Welllll, what can I say? The term seemed apropos as "Cool as Fuck" has significant cool historical English music meaning and such. Love you guys, you make this cynical American chick smile on the worst of days.
This is probably Christopher Lee's last album: he will be 88 soon - although with his energy, he might well reach 100!! :)
We do appreciate your support. If you haven't already done so, please check the samples we have uploaded for "Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross".
Nice synths! Overall, quite a weird, eerie track hahaha. Much better than all the Christmas crap they're playing on the radios here in Australia at the moment...
WANTED TO WISH YOU MERRY XMAS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN 2009 AND CONTINUED SUPPORT IN 2010!!!!!!
We've still got a few gigs before the years out with * The Futureheads @ Moho Live - Dec 18th * Jingle Bell Rock @ Satans Hollow - Dec 21st (All Ages Xmas Special) * Gideon Conn & guests @ Moho Live - Dec 22nd
Hopefully see you down there before xmas but if not have a good one
hello, guys!! thanks for the new song!! In The Bleak Midwinter is really beautiful, and so suitable for today's weather, coz now we have tonns of snow in Odessa and really winter mood if you know what i mean =)))
I've been a fairweather fan/MySpace user of late. Had to stop by and see what you've been up to. Very nicely done on the recent work, as always. Thus we sign this comment, "Cheers from an otherwise Cynical American Chick", and add a P.S.- you're still cool as fuck. Amen.
Helloooo, wonderful, amazing FDA. Where exactly did you come up with the name Federal Drugs Administration?
It confuses me. When the news says "blah blah blah The FDA has recalled so and such products this week, lalala blah." And it takes me a minute to realize they are talking about the Food and Drug Administration.
I sit, staring at my TV, wondering how in the Hell you guys managed to get the power to recall and approve of things.
Love the new tune, epic. Come Back major Tom for xmas number one! You heard my latest, The Irvins of Indiana? I picked up the banjo one day, and the spirits of a hundred toothless hicks took over...
Love you guys, you make this cynical American chick smile on the worst of days. 
, and add a P.S.- you're still cool as fuck. Amen.
